The lines were blurred.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPotter was so full on \u2014 [filming] all year, then we\u2019d promote the rest of the time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSick Note\u201d star said he\u2019s very appreciative of all the opportunities the role gave him, but shared that by the time it was over, he \u201cwanted a break to reflect on everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an out-of-body experience for a while, but I think we finished at the right time,\u201d Grint said. \u201cIf we continued, it could\u2019ve gone downhill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Grint reunited with his co-stars for HBO Max\u2019s \u201cHarry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts\u201d special, something he described as too soon, saying he wasn\u2019t initially on board with it,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/rupert-grint-ron-weasley-harry-potter-knock-at-the-cabin-1235313380\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>\u00a0noted.<\/p>\n<p>However, the actor explained that being part of the franchise itself \u201cwas a really unique experience only us core group really know, so it\u2019s nice to see them [co-stars]. It was a good opportunity to reflect on everything and just say how crazy it was. It\u2019s always nice to look back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grint also shared that the experience he had with the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d projects now dictates the roles he takes on, calling them \u201ctherapeutic\u201d after taking parts for darker projects like Guillermo del Toro\u2019s \u201cCabinet of Curiosities,\u201d Apple\u2019s \u201cServant,\u201d and M.
